All done at 4 pen-widths high with a worn-out metal #3 Mitchell nib. (I have no idea why I hang onto these corroded, disgusting pens. Is it a sort of self-flagellation for the sin of neglecting to clean my pens properly? Scottish parsimony? I don&#8217;t know.) All in gouache, except that the black is Moon Palace sumi ink.<\/p>\n<p>The green drove me crazy, glopping off the pen &#8212; you can see the unevenness in the close-up view. Since it was only the green that was a problem, I think it was the lemon yellow that was causing it, because the ultramarine and the touch of vermilion were fine in the other mixtures. Or perhaps it was the combination of the lemon yellow and ultramarine &#8212; mixing them seems to me something like mixing low-fat milk and Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not recommending the color scheme! I&#8217;m still cleaning out old palettes &#8212; more parsimony, perhaps, and the pleasure of exploring color in a serendipitous manner.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember what this paper is. It&#8217;s  something to do with printmaking &#8212; very, very smooth and more of an eggshell color than it looks here. Superfine Letterpress, perhaps?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some quotations in honor of World Literary Day.
